Is Ostertag the 27th Best Player in Franchise History?

I'm not going to get into specific position Ostertag should occupy on the all-time list, but he was the second best player on a 42-win team. In my book, that alone puts him above half the people mentioned in this thread.

Keep dreaming buddy. Tag was never the second best player on any team.

Advanced stats say otherwise.

Thanks for making me spit out my cereal laughing this morning. Dude wasn't even the best rebounder on the team, which about the only he was useful for at that point. He was probably 7th best that year slightly above Jarron Collins.

I'm not old enough to dispute or have any valid opinion, but that seems like a fiery take.

No way Hood is ahead of Tag. Same with Royce. So maybe he's 26th?

No idea where Hood was, but Royce was 33rd.



Royce vs Tag is an interesting debate to me. Royce had 5 really sold years for the Jazz vs 10 really mediocre years of Tag. I get longevity plays a big factor, but to me Royce is clearly just better and he had enough years in Utah to be ahead of Tag.

Idk. One of my most hated jazz players of all time though no doubt

That Shaw slap dropped him at least 5 slots all by itself, iirc.

The disparity in their production is hardly negligible. You think this because of their respective bars coming out of college. Ostertag didn’t live up to his potential. O’Neale did. But to make O’Neale sound so solid and Tag out as if he was a complete stiff is laughable, especially since you previously acknowledged you’re too young to even have an opinion on Tag.

Royce was a starter and a good one at that. He might have been a 5th option, but he was a good 5th option. Objectively, looking at stats and impact, his 5 years were better than any 5 year run Ostertag run had.

Yes because stats alone tells the whole story.
